Josh McGuire

I am 26 years old and work for Ontario Systems as a project consultant. I have a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Business Administration. I am also getting married this coming May, so that should be a good time. I have been using Macs for about 5 years now and can’t believe I ever used anything else. I enjoy web design, app creation in Xcode, and gaming!! Also, I am a big Star Wars fan, so the force is strong in this one!
